Tonk indeed would have loved a role in a mission such as this... so would this old squid, but alas, shortly after 9-11 a Navy recruiter told me I was too old to re-enlist.
Nonetheless, my heart sets sea with these present day warriors with each deployment.

They used to know how to deal with this at one time.

You are very correct, Tonk would have loved this and if there were any way possible he’d have SOMETHING to do with it.
I often hear the CG helicopter go by and think of what he’d be doing if he was around. He still gets calls to schedule vessel inspections.
SALUTE to our dearly missed friend.
